Just think about it - nobody, neither the person taking photos, nor the person holding the soldering iron, nor anybody else in the room (there most likely were more then those two), realized that what they are doing is wrong. This just shows the general lack of knowledge, skills and understanding among the population. And then, please, think, that the same people feel qualified to discuss all and every subject, mob their opponents on social networks, denigrate them in the news and they do have voting rights. And then you understand why Liberal democracy running amok is not always a good thing. If this wasn't a soldering thing, but something related to politics, the only sensible person in the room who dared to point out that what everybody else thinks is Ok is not actually Ok, would be instantly labeled Racist Nazi, silenced and intimidated. That is the modern day politics in the nutshell.
